Songs 37/The endings of godly and wicked people

37:0 The endings of godly and wicked people

37A song by David.

37Don’t be irritated by those who do evil.

Don’t be envious of those who do what is wrong,

2because they’ll soon dry up like the grass

and wither as the green plants.

3Trust in Yahweh and do what is good.

Settle in the land and appreciate faithfulness.

4Then delight yourself in Yahweh,

and he’ll give you what you really desire.

5Give your path to Yahweh.

Trust in him, and he’ll act on your behalf.

6He’ll display your justice like the daylight

and your innocence like the day at noon.

7Be still in front of Yahweh and wait patiently for him.

Don’t be angry if others succeed in what they do,

or when they make evil plots.

8Don’t be angry and frustrated.

Don’t be a worrier—that only makes trouble.

9Those who do evil will be eliminated,

but those who strive to obey for Yahweh will end up owning the land.

10In a little while the evil people will disappear.

You’ll look at the place where they were, but they’ll be gone.

11But the meek will inherit the land

and will delight in great prosperity.

12The wicked people plot against the righteous

and grind their teeth in rage against them.

13My master laughs at them,

because he knows that their day is coming.

14The wicked have drawn out their swords and have bent their bows

to birng the oppressed and needy down—

yes, to kill those who are godly.

15Their swords will pierce their own hearts,

and their bows will be broken.

16It’s better to do right and only have a little,

than to be wicked and rich,

17because the arms of the wicked people will be broken,

but Yahweh supports people who’re righteous.

18Yahweh keeps an eye on those who’re blameless,

and they won’t lose their inheritance.

19They won’t be shamed when times are bad.

When famine comes, they’ll have enough to eat,

20because evil people will die.

Yahweh’s enemies will be like the fleeting beauty of the fields—

they’ll be consumed and disappear in the smoke.

21Wicked people borrow but never repay,

but the godly person is generous and gives.

22Those who are blessed by God will own the land,

but those who are cursed by him will be wiped out.

23It is by Yahweh that a person’s steps are established,

and he takes pleasure in observing their path.

24Even if they stumble, they won’t fall on their face,

because Yahweh is right there helping them.


25I was young and now I’m old

and I’ve never seen the righteous person abandoned

or their children out begging for food.

26All day long, they’re gracious and lend to those more needy,

and their children become a blessing to others.

27Turn away from evil and do what is right,

then you will go on living

28because Yahweh loves justice and doesn’t abandon those who’re faithful to him.

They’re preserved forever, but the descendants of wicked people will be eliminated.

29The godly people will inherit the land

and always live there.

30Godly people expound wisdom

and promote justice.

31God’s law is always on their minds.

Their feet won’t slip.

32The wicked person watches the righteous

and seeks to kill them.

33Yahweh won’t abandon them into the evil person’s hand

or condemn them when they’re judged.

34Wait for Yahweh and stay on the path he showed you,

then he’ll assist you to possess the land he promised.

You’ll see those who’re wicked get eliminated.

35I’ve seen a wicked and terrifying person

spreading out like a luxuriant tree in its native soil.

36However, when I passed by again, they weren’t there.

I looked for them, but they couldn’t be found.

37Observe the person of integrity, and notice those who’re godly.

There’s a good future for a peaceful person.

38Sinners will be totally destroyed;

The future will be cut off for wicked people.

39Yahweh is the one who saves godly people.

He protects them in the times of trouble.

40Yahweh helps them and rescues them.

He rescues them from evil people and saves them

because they’ve gone to him as a place of safety.
